Owner

Stacey graduated from the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology Court Reporter Program in 1991 and moved from Edmonton to Vancouver to work as an Official Court Reporter, covering Examinations for Discovery for a freelance firm and working in the BC Supreme Court.  She earned her Registered Professional Reporter designation in 1996, followed by her Certified Realtime Reporter designation in 1998, both from the National Court Reporters Association. 

In 1998, Stacey was offered a short-term contract at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague, Netherlands, a contract that would change the course of her professional life.  What started out as a 6-month commitment has spanned over two decades, providing realtime services for a multitude of international organizations, covering complex war crimes and terrorism proceedings in Europe and Africa.

In 2010, Stacey purchased Vernon Court Reporters from Terry Ross, the original owner who was set to retire, and has enjoyed working in the valley ever since.

When not tapping on her steno machine, Stacey enjoys golfing with her family, playing volleyball, and soaking up the Okanagan sunshine on her deck.
